I have moved big snappers off the road in Wisconsin. They are invariably females looking to lay their eggs.
I hate to see waste, and turtles are interesting wildlife.
A good souce of reserve protein for hard times, as well.
I have eaten both turtles and turtle eggs.
Not bad, but I prefer chicken.
Bless all of you who have the heart to stop and help a turtle cross the road.
So many are killed trying to cross.
